“I’m done playing! I’ve played over a dozen rounds and haven’t won a single one, and every time the boss would win! It’s no fun!” Todd couldn’t even remember the last time he played without discarding a card.
“That’s right, boss, how come you’re so good at cards? I suspect Lin Wu knew it all along. He just wanted to see us make fools of ourselves!” Miles had also come to his senses by now, after all, lawyers aren’t fools.
“Hahaha, you two still think you can challenge the boss in a card game? Don’t you know the boss can effortlessly win billions at the casino!” Lin Wu laughed heartily, clearly relishing the idea of making them lose.
“Lin, you’re so mean!” Todd couldn’t help but complain.
After playing for over an hour, Zhou Chao, who had enjoyed the novelty, said, “You guys go ahead, I’m going to take a break!”
Seeing their boss leave, Todd and Miles looked at Lin Wu and couldn’t help but smirk.
“Come on, my dear Lin!”
Lin Wu’s mouth twitched a couple of times before reluctantly taking his seat, mentally prepared to be teased by the two of them.
“Boss, we can set off now!” Lin Wu stood at the door of Zhou Chao’s bedroom and gently knocked twice.
“Click!” The door opened, and Zhou Chao walked out in neat attire.
!!..
Let’s go!” With that, he walked downstairs, and Lin Wu hurriedly followed.
Yesterday, Lin Wu, Todd, and the others had played until after 10 o’clock in the evening, each with their own wins and losses. Zhou Chao had arranged today’s activities just before going to bed, which included visiting famous landmarks in Paris and checking out the carnival on the Champs-Elysees in the afternoon.
The three Mercedes-Benz cars quickly arrived in the city center of Paris, and perhaps there was a festival performance today, as there were more people on the streets.
“Boss, where should we go first?”
“Let’s start with the Louvre!” Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and said.
As for why he chose the Louvre, he had planned it from the beginning, intending to sign in at the treasure area and try his luck, hoping to find something valuable.
Before long, Zhou Chao and his group arrived at the banks of the Seine River. Zhou Chao was accompanied by Lin Wu and Todd, but Miles had flown to London early in the morning, mentioning that there were some developments in the acquisition of a football club!
Standing by the Seine River, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but recall a romantic song by Jay Chou.
By the Seine River, on the Left Bank’s coffee, I hold a cup in my hand, savoring your beauty!” Zhou Chao hummed softly.
“Boss, do you want to have some coffee? There are several coffee shops just ahead, would you like to try?” Todd heard Zhou Chao’s voice and quickly pointed to a nearby place.
“Splurt!” Lin Wu on the side burst into laughter.
“What’s so funny, Lin!” Todd looked at Lin Wu, still puzzled.
“Todd, the song 1 just sang was just a song, 1 didn’t say I wanted coffee. I only drink plain water or freshly squeezed fruit juice!” Zhou Chao turned his head and said softly.
“Oh! I thought you wanted coffee, boss!”
The group strolled along the Seine River for a while before arriving at the famous world-class museum, the palace of art, and the renowned treasure trove known as the Louvre.
Walking through the U-shaped courtyard of the Louvre, tourists from all over the world streamed into their favorite galleries.
“Boss, which gallery should we visit first?”
“Let’s start with the Oriental Art Gallery.”
After purchasing tickets, the group followed the crowd into the interior of the Louvre, where precious exhibits were displayed before Zhou Chao’s eyes one by one.
As they looked at various exhibits with a Huaxia style displayed in the exhibition hall, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Chao’s deep eyes.
“Boss, is this the gilded pagoda?” Lin Wu approached a exquisite exhibit and asked.
“Yes, that’s right.”
After scrutinizing it for a while, Zhou Chao turned and left.
Next, the three of them visited the Greek and Roman Art Gallery, the Egyptian Art Gallery, and the Painting Gallery!
At this moment, Zhou Chao stood in front of the Mona Lisa’s painting, silently activating the check-in system in his mind.
“System check-in!”
“Check-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining two oil paintings!” Hearing the system’s prompt, Zhou Chao was completely baffled. It was indeed mystical. He should have checked in at the Oriental Art Gallery earlier.
“Sigh!” He sighed lightly.
Boss? Is there something wrong?” Lin Wu asked nervously.
It’s nothing, let’s go, I don’t want to see anymore, it’s not interesting!” With that, he turned and walked towards the exit.
Lin Wu and Todd exchanged puzzled glances, then quickly followed.
“What do you think is wrong with the boss?” Todd asked Lin Wu in a hushed voice as they watched Zhou Chao walking ahead.
“You’re asking me, who can we ask? We can’t guess what’s on the boss’s mind, so let’s not speculate!”
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao was walking ahead, multitasking as most of his attention was focused on the system’s storage. The two oil paintings he had just checked in didn’t specify the artist, and he couldn’t take them out to examine them, so he could only look at them.
“Boss, be careful!” Just as Zhou Chao was thinking of finding a secluded place to take a look at the oil paintings he had checked in, he heard Lin Wu’s voice from behind.
He snapped back to reality and realized that he had walked to the edge of the Seine River, just a few more steps and he would have fallen in.
“Boss, are you okay?” Lin Wu and Todd quickly approached and asked.
“I’m fine, just got lost in thought for a moment,” Zhou Chao waved his hand to indicate that he was okay.
“That’s good!”
“Let’s find a coffee shop to sit down!” Zhou Chao decided to find a place to sit down and calm down. Later, he planned to take a look in the restroom or something similar.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a small coffee shop with only a few customers.
They found a corner to sit in, with a view of the Seine River through the glass curtain wall.
They ordered three cups of coffee casually. Zhou Chao then found an excuse to go to the coffee shop’s restroom. He found it to be unisex but with separate stalls. After making sure there was no one around, he entered one of the individual restrooms.
Let me see what good things I’ve got!” Immediately, he took something out from the storage, the identification skill he had obtained from the previous check-in!
“Pablo Picasso’s ‘The Painter’ and Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Painter on the Way to Work.’”
Seeing the authors of these two paintings, Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised. After all, Picasso and van Gogh were not ordinary people, and their surviving artworks were not many. For a while, it was difficult to determine the value of these two paintings.
He put the two paintings back into the system’s storage and took out his phone to search for more information. When he saw the introductions of these two paintings, Zhou Chao felt a headache coming on.
Either sunk into the sea or burned in a war.
“Damn, can’t you give me something 1 can show openly? Would anyone believe it if 1 took this out like this?”
He sighed heavily, and just as he was about to open the restroom door to leave, he heard two voices outside. It was a man and a woman, and they both spoke with a Chinese accent.
“Baby, is your new roommate as attractive as you say?”
“Of course, she said her family is well-off in Sichuan, and she looks like an innocent young girl!”
“Hehe, baby, it’s up to you this time. Whether we can live a fairy-like life depends on your performance!” The man then embraced the woman, and they seemed to be sharing a passionate kiss.
“Umm… Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll let you enjoy a different kind of pleasure later!”
“Hehehe, according to the plan, I’ll take her to the bar later.”
“Got it, you devil. Let’s go out now; if we stay too long, she might get suspicious!”
“Smack!” A crisp sound followed, and Zhou Chao knew it was the sound of a hand patting a raised buttock.
Ah-” A coquettish voice came from the woman.
Soon, the restroom door next door opened, and the two of them walked out. It wasn’t until their voices faded into the distance that Zhou Chao came out as well. However, his face was already cold, and he looked at the recording on his phone with a trace of a bitter smile.
“Despicable scum, that’s what they are.” A cold word came from Zhou Chao’s mouth.
This scene reminded him of what happened to Guo Yan in Jinling before. If it weren’t for his timely appearance, he didn’t know what the consequences would have been. And this time, he encountered them again.
How could he possibly let these two despicable scoundrels succeed?
Exiting the restroom, Zhou Chao scanned the entire coffee shop and noticed three individuals sitting near a window. Fortunately, they weren’t too far from where he was sitting, and he could hear their conversation clearly.
The man had a clean and fair appearance, giving off a sunny and friendly vibe. Seated beside him was the woman who had been in the restroom with him earlier, dressed in designer clothing. However, from Zhou Chao’s perspective, she wasn’t much different from those pseudo-socialites in China.
As for the other girl, she wasn’t particularly tall, standing at around 1.6 meters, with a petite figure, but she had a certain charm that Zhou Chao would describe as “baby-faced and well-endowed.”
“Boss, do you have an interest in that girl? She seems to have a broad mind!” Todd gave Zhou Chao a knowing look.
“Get lost! Am I the type to be swayed by appearances? Maybe it’s you who has thoughts!” Zhou Chao retorted impatiently, wondering why Todd couldn’t see how cold his expression was!
Todd scratched his head sheepishly and quickly sipped his coffee.
“Boss, are those people causing trouble? You’ve been looking in their direction several times!”
“Well, the man and woman sitting closer to us are problematic. Do you remember what happened in Jinling? They plan to do the same thing, and I happened to overhear them in the restroom!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu immediately understood. Zhou Chao had undoubtedly been reminded of the previous incident, and Todd had coincidentally stepped on a landmine.
Lin, what’s the situation?” Todd asked, curious.
Lin Wu glanced at Zhou Chao and, seeing him nod slightly, leaned in to whisper to Todd.
After Lin Wu finished explaining, Todd’s expression darkened.
“Boss, just tell us what to do. We have to deal with this scumbag; they’re not even human!” Todd exclaimed.
“We’re definitely going to deal with them. As for these despicable scum… Hmph!” Zhou Chao took a sip of his coffee and gave a cold snort..
